ISA awarded me a 2013-2014 scholarship to help fund my education. I would not have been able to keep going to school if I had not received it. So, I want to give thanks to the many people of the ISA who work on securing the future of the organization just as the original founders had. ISA was and is forged and founded from true honesty and integrity that you will not find in to many other professions.

This first-of-its-kind certificate applies to Schneider Electric’s Process Automation business product development centers in Foxboro, Mass., Worthing, U.K., and Hyderabad, India. It is based on international cybersecurity standards and was developed to accelerate industry-wide cybersecurity improvement for industrial automation and control systems (IACS).

“The ISASecure SDLA certification demonstrates Schneider Electric’s long-standing commitment to secure industrial automation and control systems, and it sets a major benchmark for the industry as a whole,” said Andre Ristaino, Managing Director of the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI), a not-for-profit automation controls industry consortium that manages the ISASecure™ conformance certification program.

“We are proud to lead the way. Being the world’s first IACS provider to achieve this important benchmark is a testament to our commitment to delivering control and safety solutions that minimize system vulnerabilities and are resilient to cybersecurity threats,” said Raja Macha, vice president, research and development for Schneider Electric’s Process Automation business. “Addressing cybersecurity threats is a collaborative effort, however, so Schneider Electric continues to join forces with accredited certification and assessment bodies—like ISASecure and exida—to meet continuous cybersecurity demands.”

Cybersecurity is fundamental to Schneider Electric’s principles of helping its customers achieve more with fewer resources in a more connected world.

“The three certified Schneider Electric sites show they use a product development lifecycle in which cybersecurity considerations in all phases are part of their culture, demonstrating an institutionalized commitment to securing industrial automation and control systems,” said Chris O’Brien, principle partner at exida, an ISO 17065 certification body that is accredited by ANSI/ANAB to offer security certification of automation products per the ISASecure IACS Cybersecurity Assurance program.
